The letter I cannot write

by Anony Mous in

abusers like you don’t kill.

that would be too kind.. they ruin your childhood, they ruin your teenage years, instill lifelong fears.. they ruin your academic performance and the chance at higher education.

they hold you back in jobs, because you’re afraid, and hold you back in moving away, because they need you to validate them.. and then when we eventually break free, you follow, you interrupt, because we’re too afraid, you molest the ones we love because you feel you have the power.

Hmmmmm, the Abuser should in the scheme of things should take note

Is Watchtower letting Ukrainian draftees flap in the wind without legal assistance?

by Balaamsass2 in

is this like the situation in mexico vs malawi ray franz wrote about in his book "crisis of conscience:?

why leave any mention of professed neutrality out of their government filings?

may 18, 2025, 10:29 a.m.. court in odesa region rules that jehovah's witnesses' charter does not prohibit them from fighting.

By their own standards, they are no longer ...

by wantingtruth in

by their own standards, they are no longer "jehovah's witnesses”.

.. i finally got a hold of the "od book" (organized to do jehovah's will), the book that replaced the other "organized" book for field service and congregational arrangements.

i was reading through this and noticed an irony starting on page 155. this section deals with "disassociation"... (i'm sure others have already seen or discussed this, but i've been running behind lately).. "a person might renounce his place in the christian congregation by his actions, such as by becoming part of a secular organization that has objectives contrary to the bible and, hence, is under judgment by jehovah god.

The problem is Jehovah's witnesses don't follow their own standards 😂🤣😂🤣

Reddit thread on convention video urging cutting off contact with Faders

by LongHairGal in

jw
friends

i just read this.

don’t know if anybody here has seen the video.. the intended result of this is to obviously scare ‘faders’ out of the shadows.

now, they are being threatened with loss of association with their loved ones and friends.

Matthew 18: 15 - 17 is addressed to who?

What did the WTS say the "inner rooms" to find safety

by blondie in

jw
friends

as recently as 2025, the wts has compared the "inner rooms" to the congregation as a place of safety.

do you remember this?

notice the "weasel words" the wts uses to lay the foundation for "adjustment" or "clarification" of their statements.

From what they are saying, staying close to congregation equally means staying close to their principal members of the congregation they belong. I don't think it means the kingdom halls going by congregations and the numbers that uses the kingdom hall.

A ploy to rely heavily on the instructions given to the elders. Just like every member are aksed to update their records with their group overseers in case of emergency.

Seeking JW friend

by Jujitz in

hello: i'm currently not yet a jehovah's witness but i'm seeking a friend to help me to better understand their doctrine.

thank you.

david.

I will advise you start from the arrow head of their doctrine not always visible but the deadliest of all.

Jehovah's organization

It is the most deadliest of all their doctrine because Jehovah's organization = Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses = 11 gods.

Your approved association with Jehovah’s witnesses and by extension God = Jehovah's organization = Governing Body of Jehovah's requires accepting 101% that they are the only Channel to salvation.

If you can successfully find this teaching in the Bible and Jehovah’s witnesses readily convince you to agree to such teaching be ready to carry your burden after getting you isolated from your loves one before you get dumped when you no longer bow to your gods.

The question you need to ask do you need to be in a religious organization to be saved? Does God require you be a member of a Christian denomination to be saved? Is the organization of Jehovah's Witnesses from God and supported scripturally?

Exclusivity: Jehovah's Witnesses common denominator with other Christian denominations

by Longlivetherenegades in

one thread recently stated, the religious organization of jehovah's witnesses started as a protestant or pentecostal as it were then ended up being roman catholic in their mode of operations.

the evidence of their being exclusive is found in their own publications.... .

obviously, a basis for approved fellowship with jehovah’s witnesses cannot rest merely on a belief in god, in the bible, in jesus christ, and so forth.

Obviously, a basis for approved fellowship with Jehovah’s Witnesses cannot rest merely on a belief in God, in the Bible, in Jesus Christ, and so forth. The Roman Catholic pope, as well as the Anglican Archbishop of Canterbury, professes such beliefs, yet their church memberships are exclusive of each other. Likewise, simply professing to have such beliefs would not authorize one to be known as one of Jehovah’s Witnesses..... Watchtower April 1986

What can be drawn from the above as it applies to the religion of Jehovah's Witnesses and other Christian denominations

1. Approved fellowship with Jehovah’s Witnesses and other Christian denominations cannot rest merely on a belief in God, in the Bible, in Jesus Christ.

2. That The Roman Catholic pope, as well as the Anglican Archbishop of Canterbury, professes such beliefs, yet their church memberships are exclusive of each other is enough standing for Jehovah’s witnesses to be exclusive from other Christian denominations.

3. Jehovah's Witnesses agree to the fact that their are some beliefs unique to other Christian denominations which Jehovah’s witnesses often classify as false teachings and they used in labeling them false Christians but will not readily accept their own unique beliefs used to assert exclusivity are equally stated to be false.

4. Jehovah's Witnesses uses the template of Christendom aka Babylon the great in their mode of operation and therefore not different from those they love to condemn.

The Big Secret

by finishedmystery in

when the gb brought a formal end to all the type/antitypes in so many ways it could be said that they brought the religion to an end.

the other sheep/anointed teaching that leads to a two class religion was originally based on two antitypes--the jehu/jehonadab relationship and something about the cities of refuge.

in that 2014 annual meeting talk david splane even specifically stated that the cities of refuge has no antitype.
